My baby shower was so fun! My sister, mom, and aunts did such a nice job with everything. They definitely made it a special day for me!
My shower was alphabet-themed, so there were all sorts of adorable decorations: baby blocks, strings of letters, and little signs labeling all of the different foods and drinks.
The menu included sandwiches, salads, and a number of brunch favorites.
Including a variety of (Q is for) quiches.
And, of course, the dessert table was packed with tons of delicious treats. My family knows how much I love dessert!
There were carrot cake and Oreo cupcakes, two of my very favorites!
And chocolate!! So much chocolate! Chocolate-covered strawberries, chocolate-covered pomegranate seeds, and chocolate-covered Oreos!
My sister also coordinated a bunch of baby shower games.
I got 7 out of 10!
Yarn game!
And then it was time to open presents!
Oh, there were so many gifts for Baby Haupert. The photo above is just a fraction of them!
Our families keeps asking us about Baby Haupert’s name, but Mal and I are keeping it a secret until he’s born. Right now, we’re telling everyone his first name is “Hippity” as in “Hippity Haupert.”
I received so many amazing gifts from family and friends, but the baby clothes were definitely some of the highlights for me.
Baby boy clothes can be so incredibly cute!
Bow Tie Tuesday?
Mal’s epic pug family shirt!
My baby blanket, Harry, also made an appearance at the shower. My mom kept him safe and sound over the years and even had him repaired with a new light blue satin edge.
I was so happy and surprised to see Harry after all of these years, I immediately burst into tears. It was such a nice gift and now I can give it to Baby H!
CrossFit ladies!
My sis and me!
Parents-to-be and a pug who has no idea what he’s in for once Hippity arrives!
P.S. A big shout out to Kate (here’s a link to her Etsy shop), who sent my sister the paper decorations for my shower. Weren’t they adorable?!
What a sweet party. I loved the theme…such a unique idea. Can’t wait for baby Hippity to arrive!
What a beautiful shower! Such a great idea with the alphabet theme. I love your blanket! I also had a rabbit blanket when I was younger. What a sweet idea for your mom to do that!
Aww happy baby shower!
So happy for you 🙂 Long time reader, can’t wait to see baby on the blog in those cute outfits! XO
So sweet that your mom gave you your blanket – Love that!!!! Makes me think I need to put my littlest one’s “DD” and keep it for his child!!! Thank your mom for the great idea!!!
What an incredibly special day!
Such a cute shower!! Your family did a great job!
Looks like a wonderful day, so happy for you! Love your dress and you look great in it!
So cute! Love the alphabet theme!
Aw how sweet! Love all the decor! And little boy clothes are just adorable. I love the little bow ties. I can’t wait, my shower is this Saturday, except I’ll be surrounded by pink instead of blue! I’m just hoping that I can keep it together but I have a feeling that won’t happen! Stupid hormones ha ha. I’ll console myself with desserts. All of them. 🙂
Aw! The alphabet theme is so cute, love the pug family shirt 🙂 looks like a successful baby shower
Wow what a thoughtful and well put together shower! You look amazing!
Oh my gosh that shower game is SO GOOD! I’ve never seen that before either, so original! Pinning! 🙂 You looked adorable, and that is SO special your mom saved the blanket. I love how you’re keeping the name secret. My sister didn’t know the sex of my nephew, so we just called him baby “Tuff” because my brother in law said the baby would be “tuff” because my sister was sick in the beginning of her pregnancy!… I love “Hippity”, too cute 🙂 You looked great, that was a perfect dress!
The colors in this shower are brilliant! Looks gorgeous!
Adorable theme! What an exciting weekend you must have had 🙂
You look great in that dress and necklace! Also I haven’t commented during your pregnancy, but it’s so inspiring how much you’ve kept up with CrossFit. I’m a long time from having kids but I hope I’m as active as you are! (And am I the only one thinking that girl in the photos looks like she could be your daughter?? There’s such a resemblance!)
What an adorable idea to turn your baby blanket into a new one for your son! Now I wish I’d kept mine from childhood so I could do the same! (But who am I kidding? It was probably too icky to be a hand-me-down. Haha.)
This might be the coolest baby shower I’ve seen lately! Love the guessing game for the pregnant celebs! Haha
Can’t wait for baby Hippity to arrive 🙂
Omg, everything is adorable!
Your dress is adorable! It looks like a super fun party!
The alphabet theme is so creative! It looks like a great party and such a fun time! I love the pug shirt 🙂
Loved the theme and your dress! Super cute!
So sweet. I feel like I’ve seen you attend so many baby showers on the blog over the years, how lovely to see your’s!
Super D duper cute! Love the alphabet idea and I’ve never seen that before. Not even on Pinterest!
I love the theme. Baby H is lucky to have so many people waiting and ready to meet him. And everything about the house you are in! Those colors are so stunning 🙂
What a nice shower!
Oh my gosh your outfit is SO cute! I love that dress/necklace combo; I have a similar dress/necklace that I pair together often.
Oh, Tina – you and Mal just look so happy. Congratulations!
I”m sure it’s been said in the comments already, but I’m on the side of keeping the name a secret! So many people, if you reveal before baby is born comment on what is wrong with your name choice! It makes you go all buggy! But if you wait til they are born, they will not question your choice. I’ve also had people get extremely mad at me for not sharing before our kid was born and I was thinking “Why are you mad, it’s not like I made this baby for you?” (It was a co-worker who is a very nosy type of person)
What a special day for you! I love the theme! I know I would have cried about the blanket too and I’m not preggo….just a big mush. 😉
looks like an awesome baby shower!! I can’t wait to have mine 😉
I will have to show Michelle this post so she can get some ideas, haha
